| How to Get the C-Level Involvement Your Transformation Deserves with Aric Wood (CSO, Tigerhall) | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:20:58 | |
"If you're not leading change, what are you leading?" In this week’s episode, Aric Wood, Tigerhall's Chief Strategy Officer, challenges us to move beyond change management to embrace change leadership as a C-suite imperative. With the average employee now facing 17-18 significant changes annually (compared to just 1-2 a decade ago), organizations that delegate transformation to siloed teams are setting themselves up for failure. The data is clear: when CEOs lead from the front, transformations are three times more likely to succeed. Aric shares why most transformations fail, how the rise of Chief Transformation Officers is reshaping leadership dynamics, and why renovating your house is the perfect metaphor for organizational change. He offers practical advice for both C-suite executives looking to make change a competitive advantage and change leaders struggling to secure greater executive involvement. Whether you're navigating AI-driven disruption or implementing a new strategy, this conversation provides a blueprint for turning change leadership into your organization's secret weapon. 00:00 - Introduction: Moving beyond change management to change leadership 00:55 - Why change leadership capability will be a critical competitive differentiator 02:15 - The exponential increase in change impact: from 1-2 changes annually to 17-18 03:30 - How AI is accelerating the pace of change beyond Moore's Law 05:00 - Why 70% of change initiatives fail despite significant investment 06:10 - The renovation metaphor: Why change requires executive presence and involvement 09:05 - The data behind CEO-led transformation: 3x more likely to achieve objectives 10:35 - The rise of Chief Transformation Officers: A positive trend or delegation? 12:20 - Defining the CEO's role in transformation vs. the Chief Transformation Officer 14:15 - Why CEOs often underestimate their influence in driving change 15:30 - The business case for C-suite involvement: Risk reduction and opportunity creation 17:10 - How visible leadership creates a "snowball effect" of change adoption 18:35 - Making change leadership a competitive advantage in an accelerating world 19:25 - Advice for change leaders struggling with disengaged executives 21:05 - Three key recommendations for C-suite executives leading transformation ---- Connect with: Nellie Wartoft CEO of Tigerhall Chair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) nellie@tigerhall.com ---- Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolon Everything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko | Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US | |||
| Why 80% of AI Initiatives Fail and How Change Leaders Can Succeed with Shankar Kalyana (CTO, Stantec) | 01 Apr 2025 | 00:30:46 | |
Here's a stat that might make you spit out your coffee: 80% of AI projects launched last year failed to deliver on their promises. Yikes! In this conversation that's refreshingly no nonsense, Nellie chats with Shankar Kalyana, CTO at Stantec, about why so many change leaders are struggling with AI implementation and what the successful 20% are doing differently. Shankar cuts through the AI hype with practical wisdom from someone who's actually made this stuff work. He shares why your team might be resistant to that shiny new Copilot license (and what to do about it), which parts of Microsoft Copilot actually deliver value versus where it falls flat (Excel, we're looking at you), and why sometimes the best approach is to "chatbot the heck out of it" and learn as you go. ---- Connect with: Nellie Wartoft CEO of Tigerhall Chair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) nellie@tigerhall.com ---- Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolon Everything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko | Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US | |||
| How Top Change Leaders Focus on the 20% That Actually Matters with Chris Hirst (Former CEO, Havas) | 25 Mar 2025 | 00:33:30 | |
We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide. This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change’, ‘No Bullshit Leadership’, and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success’. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive. Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action. Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable. ---- Connect with: Nellie Wartoft CEO of Tigerhall Chair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris’ upcoming book here. ---- Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolon Everything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko | Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US | |||

Ravin Jesuthasan, bestselling author and global leader for transformation services at Mercer, explains why work redesign is the missing foundation for successful transformation. Drawing from his books "Work Without Jobs" and "The Skills-Powered Organization," Ravin shares how deconstructing work into its core tasks and redeploying them efficiently led to extraordinary results—like an oil company cutting performance variance from 35% to 2.3% without layoffs.

| When Your Leaders Can’t Lead Change: How to Make Change Everyone’s Job with Roger Guerrero (Head of Enterprise Strategy Execution, Merck) | 03 Jun 2025 | 00:28:41 | |
Why do technical experts often make poor change leaders? Roger Guerrero, Head of Enterprise Strategy Execution at Merck, challenges how organizations select and develop leaders in transformation environments. Drawing from his experience overseeing Merck's corporate strategy implementation, Roger explains why change leadership shouldn't be confined to specialized teams but embedded as a core expectation for all managers. He argues that companies over-index on technical expertise while undervaluing the ability to inspire and lead through change—creating what he calls a "silent killer" in organizations. Whether you're struggling with resistant middle managers or disconnected executives, Roger offers practical strategies for identifying and developing genuine change leadership beyond technical competence. ---- Connect with: Nellie Wartoft CEO of Tigerhall Chair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) nellie@tigerhall.com ----

| Why Your Perfect Change Plan Still Faces Resistance (And What To Do About It) with Travis Hahler | 20 May 2025 | 00:27:20 | |
Ever wonder why perfectly logical transformation plans meet fierce resistance? Travis Hahler, change management expert and neuroscience researcher, reveals how our brains are hardwired to fight change through two fundamental mechanisms: energy conservation and protection. For transformation leaders, this shifts the entire approach from trying to design "lovable" changes to creating environments where adoption can thrive despite neurological barriers. Travis explains why your most vocal critics might be your greatest allies, why resistance isn't a reflection of your leadership, and offers practical strategies for accelerating adoption. A game-changing perspective for change leaders tired of taking resistance personally and ready to leverage neuroscience for better results. ---- Connect with: CEO of Tigerhall Chair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC) nellie@tigerhall.com ----
